I'm a fan (and you should be too) because...Alicia Keys is a phenomenal artist. There hasn't been enough words in existence to sum up all that she is. I love her music and the fact that she is so involved in the makings of every song, that says alot about her and helps to fully understand the type of person she is. The more involved I think an artist is in their work, the more people can understand them as a person. Based on her music and interviews I feel like I know her better and I love her, as an artist and have deep respect and admiration for her as a person.
